Bill > HJR1038

This joint resolution proposes constitutional amendments to the Oklahoma Constitution that would add a citizenship requirement for certain state elected officials and judicial positions. Specifically, the resolution seeks to amend Articles V, VI, and VII to prohibit individuals who are nationals of any country other than the United States from being elected to the State Senate, House of Representatives, Governor, Lieutenant Governor, or appointed to the Oklahoma Supreme Court. The proposed changes would add language specifying that these positions are only open to United States nationals, in addition to existing age and residency requirements. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to refer these proposed amendments to voters for approval or rejection, and provides a ballot title that summarizes the key provisions. If approved, these amendments would create new restrictions on who can serve in these key state government roles, explicitly limiting eligibility to U.S. nationals. The resolution also includes standard procedural requirements for filing the proposed amendments with state officials.
